Detrital-modes/provenance study of the Paleogene Khojak Formation (Katawaz remnant ocean), deposited as a delta-submarine-fan complex. Modal composition Qt60F9L31 (subangular quartz, abundant lithics, minor feldspar) of recycled-orogenic origin with a transitional magmatic-arc component; interpreted as recording early Himalayan orogeny and unroofing.

- Lithology: Qayyum et al. (2001): detrital-modes analysis shows the Paleogene Khojak Formation is a recycled-orogen sandstone (modal Qt60F9L31 — subangular quartz with abundant lithics and minor feldspar, a few samples transitional magmatic-arc), deposited as a delta-submarine-fan complex in the Katawaz remnant ocean and recording early Himalayan orogeny and unroofing.
